What We Fund
The Gibney Family Foundation partners with non-profit organizations qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. More than half of TGFF grant funds are awarded to support organizations that further independence for people who are blind and visually impaired. Gibney family grant sponsors are also empowered to invest in sustainable solutions for other causes within the communities in which they live.
Our Impact
The Gibney Family Foundation strives to have a collective impact on change. A collective impact requires all participants to have a shared vision, one that includes a joint approach to the right solutions. We believe funders can play an important role in bringing those solutions to life.
Our Beginning
The Gibney Family Foundation was incorporated in Sarasota, Florida on August 23, 1991. Seeking to make a difference and achieve impact within the community, Al Gibney knew TGFF needed a narrow focus…
Grantseekers
TGFF seeks partnerships with organizations that enable all people to live confident, independent lives. Collaborations take time and effort, however, the result is improved grantmaking and greater impact.
Guidelines & Eligibility
TGFF guidelines are meant to assist potential grantees to determine what programs and services can be supported.
Grant Application
TGFF grant applications are designed to fit the project and its purpose. The type of grant application submitted will be determined by the grant sponsor after an eligible project is identified.
Grant Reporting
Grant reporting is an important part of TGFF’s grant process. Grant reports help TGFF become more informed funders, and more importantly, excite and engage the grant sponsor.
